The president of a leading eastern Iowa company says Iowans seem to be “wallowing in the present” and “unable to make the hard decisions about the future.” Rockwell Collins president Clayton Jones says it’s ridiculous to have 99 county governments, and hundreds of cities in Iowa.
Jones says there’s “potential for change” but there must be political will and leadership to allow that change to occur. He says he sees very little hope that things will change soon.
Jones chides state legislators for failing to endorse proposals to improve the state’s technological infrastructure. Rockwell Collins makes communications and avionics equipment for commercial and military aircraft.
